The Levee Loop Trail Run is mostly even ground, but does have uneven terrain between Creekview Park and Stokes Mill Park. We recommend walking this stretch of the trail to see the more difficult terrain. Walkers will be on even gravel or grass paths.

Go exploring with your little one: get some energy out, meet friends, and find critters! We'll be providing hands-on outdoor adventures, activities and crafts for kids aged 3-5 years old. We ask that one parent/ guardian stays with their child for this program.
